Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a long-known and thoroughly studied molecule. It has its upsides, such as its uses in carbonated beverages and urea manufacture, and its downsides, especially its dominant ...

Carbon-capture technology inspired by blood cells is being used in applications from human space travel to the creation of bioplastics. By mimicking how blood takes up and releases carbon dioxide, ...

In 1896, the Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius realized that carbon dioxide (CO 2) traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere — the phenomenon now called the greenhouse effect. Since then, increasingly ...

A new type of all-carbon molecule has been studied under normal room-temperature conditions. This marks only the second time this has ever been done, after spherical buckyballs were synthesised 35 ...

Lots of people are excited about the idea of using plants to help us draw down some of the excess carbon dioxide we’ve been pumping into the atmosphere. It would be nice to think that we could ...

The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen ...
